History
The National Resistance Brigades were founded in 1969 with the DFLP, and in 1974 they were responsible for the Ma'alot Massacre of 25 schoolchildren and teachers. The National Resistance Brigades would later take part in the First Intifada of 1988-1995 and the Second Intifada of 2000-2005, during which they fought against the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) of Israel in various battles. The National Resistance Brigades are weaker than most other units, but they still have some military power.
